If you're curious about a car that can dominate the racetrack and yet feels as docile as a kitten when driven through the city (minus the suspension setup, though), look no further than the Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
With the 991.2 incarnation of the Rennsport Neunelfer, the German engineers have managed to pack the said dichotomy into the mix.
For one thing, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS used to hold the Nurburgring production car lap record, but the accolade was stolen by the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ.
However, Zuffenhausen pulled a special rabbit out of the hat, turning to the Manthey Racing specialist it owns. And this is how the 911 GT2 RS MR was born.
Only featuring chassis and aero tricks, the 2RS MR managed to shave a full seven seconds off the standard car's time (if we might call the 700 horsepower monster so). Thus, the MR became the quicker road-legal car on the Green Hell.
Given all these achievements (we are, after all, talking about the world's most demanding racetrack), you would imagine that the rear-engined machine is a handfull.
Well, we've brought along a piece of footage that shows the 2RS casually drifting on a mountain road. The video, which can be found at the bottom of the page, makes it seem like sliding the Neunelfer is easy as pie.
Truth be told, there is a secret ingredient here and we're talking about the one occupying the driver's seat. The aficionado who invited the 911 to dance is known as powerslide lover.
We've shown you the man's adventures on multiple occasions, as the gearhead enjoys staying true to his nickname. For instance, here is the man drifting the second-generation Ford GT with one hand (on the same stretch of road).
Nevertheless, we're asking you not to use this piece of hooning as an example and head for the track when the speeding urges kick in.
